The Instructor's Defense Was Broken!

"In a moment, I'll suppress my soul power to the same level as yours, rank thirteen. Bring out everything you've got, and let's see how many moves you can last."

Scott summoned his martial soul. His martial soul was a long saber that radiated a dark, eerie aura.

The instant it appeared, Scott's own presence seemed to sink much lower.

"Instructor, you'll pay the price for underestimating me."

Jiang Yuan planted his feet and looked at Scott in the distance. The circulation of soul power inside him sped up, ready to erupt at any moment.

Suppressing himself to the same soul power and trying to defeat him with battle experience and technique?

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Scott.

In a contest at the same level, even Qian Daoliu would not dare look down on him like this.

Scott had even less right to.

Before absolute numbers, Jiang Yuan could say without the slightest courtesy:

Bring Gu Yuena here.

Of course, if Gu Yuena really did come, Jiang Yuan would be unhappy again.

A terrifying pressure spread from within Jiang Yuan, and a yellow soul ring tinged with purple rose up.

Before the crowd could react, a terrifying dragon's roar resounded through the entire field. Behind Jiang Yuan, a colossal dragon appeared, roaming through the void, its end impossible to see at a glance.

That pressure made the martial souls within everyone tremble.

"So... so huge! So powerful!"

"What martial soul is that? Why is my martial soul trembling?"

"Impossible! Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon doesn't have this kind of might. How could a martial soul like this exist?"

"I'm clearly a tool martial soul, so why am I being suppressed by his martial soul?"

Facing a Dragon King-level martial soul like the Void Ancient Dragon for the first time, everyone felt deeply shaken.

Qiangu Xingchen, Yan, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena, geniuses with top-tier martial souls, were already drenched in sweat.

They had never encountered this kind of martial soul suppression before!

Dragon scales like steel crawled up his arms, and his hands transformed into purple-gold dragon claws. Jiang Yuan's sharp vertical pupils locked tightly onto Scott's entire body.

That terrifying dragon might directly pierced through the aura around Scott and stirred up a gust of wind.

Scott's mouth fell open, his eyes filled with shock.

He realized he had somewhat underestimated Jiang Yuan.

Being able to scatter his aura already surpassed everyone in the training camp.

And this martial soul—

Wasn't it far too overpowered?

The battle had not even begun, yet Scott could already feel the soul power inside him affected by the dragon might, its circulation turning sluggish.

That meant his strength would be weakened by at least ten percent.

Thinking of what he had said, Scott sighed bitterly in his heart.

This is going to hurt!

In an instant, Jiang Yuan moved. From absolute stillness to sudden motion, his ghostly figure flickered and swiftly appeared in front of Scott.

So fast!

Seeing Jiang Yuan's blurred silhouette, everyone present cried out inwardly without thinking.

With terrifying speed, Jiang Yuan closed in on Scott in the blink of an eye, his ferocious dragon claw viciously grabbing toward Scott's forehead.

Jiang Yuan did not hold back with this strike. He went all out.

Though Scott was shocked inside, his expression did not change. The perception of a Soul Sage had already allowed him to see Jiang Yuan's trajectory clearly.

The Shadow Blade in his hand rose quickly to block.

Clang!

The broad dragon claw collided with the long saber, instantly erupting in an ear-piercing metallic shriek, as if two fine pieces of black iron had slammed together.

Such tremendous strength!

The instant they collided, Scott looked up at Jiang Yuan in astonishment. This strength was even greater than Yan's in the training camp.

This damn kid is a Soul Master?

Jiang Yuan gave Scott no time to be surprised. When his first strike failed, he did not stop. He simply kept swinging his fists, pressing in tight.

The Shadow Blade and Jiang Yuan's iron fists crossed wildly in midair, the dense sounds of collision merging into one continuous barrage.

Every impact between them shook the surrounding air faintly.

The longer they fought, the more strained Scott felt.

Because he had currently suppressed his soul power to rank thirteen. Although the physical constitution of a Soul Sage was still there, Jiang Yuan's fists did not just carry immense force—they actually carried true damage that ignored defense.

Every attack sent his blood and qi surging violently inside him.

It left him inwardly groaning in misery.

"Amazing!"

As an instructor of Spirit Hall's Talent Training Camp, Scott had seen countless geniuses, and he himself was even a genius.

Naturally, he had his own pride.

But after seeing Jiang Yuan today, he had no choice but to admit that even though he had cultivated so many more years, at the same level, he would not be Jiang Yuan's match.

The geniuses he had seen in previous years, looking back now, seemed mediocre in front of Jiang Yuan.

His soul power shook throughout his body, and Scott tried to force Jiang Yuan back and open up some distance.

But Jiang Yuan refused to let up. Facing the chaotic soul power surging toward him, a yellow soul ring flashed around him.

First soul skill, Golden Dragon Fist!

All his attributes increased dramatically, and Jiang Yuan himself directly merged into the void, ignoring the obstruction of that soul power as he closed in right in front of Scott.

A fist accompanied by a dragon's roar blasted toward Scott's chest.

Scott's pupils suddenly contracted. He had not expected that at Jiang Yuan's level, he could already use space to such an extent.

Facing this punch, he erupted with soul power far beyond rank thirteen, and his entire body was once again filled with the sensation of being saturated by soul power.

A horizontal slash!

In an instant, every student in the arena felt as if the sky had darkened at that moment.

Darkness enveloped Jiang Yuan and Scott. All anyone heard from within it was the sound of a tremendous collision.

Bang!

Gradually, the darkness dispersed.

Jiang Yuan and Scott's figures were revealed.

Jiang Yuan's tall, upright figure stood where he was. At a glance, there seemed to be no injury on him at all, and even his clothes were not disheveled.

Scott, meanwhile, had his long blade carried behind his back and was looking at Jiang Yuan with an appreciative gaze, extremely satisfied with his performance just now.

Only in a place no one else could see, the arm behind his back had already swollen red and was trembling uncontrollably.

Just now, even though he had mobilized soul power above rank thirteen in time, Jiang Yuan had still punched through his defense.

Even with his Soul Sage cultivation, he could not block all the damage.

Although it was not enough to seriously injure him, it still did not look good.

So he had immediately used a soul skill to envelop the two of them, quickly dealt with it, and only then appeared before everyone again.

After all, so many students were watching. He had to maintain an instructor's authority. Looking too wretched would not do.

"Hm?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Scott and suddenly frowned. Just now, he had clearly felt that he had hit the man, and with the dual armor-piercing effects of the Void Ancient Dragon and Golden Dragon Fist, how was it that even the man's clothes were not rumpled?

Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Yuan's mind. Keenly sensing a faint tremor in the space behind Scott, he understood instantly.

He gave Scott a deep look.

The corner of Scott's mouth twitched. He silently turned his gaze away, not daring to meet Jiang Yuan's eyes.

"Ahem..."

"Student Jiang Yuan is powerful, and his martial soul is equally extraordinary. Polish yourself well in the future, and there will definitely be a place for you among the Titled Douluo."
